Edinburgh Leisure’s Summer Pass: Everything you need for a sport filled summer

Don’t let the delay to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions stop you getting active this summer. If the Euros and Wimbledon are inspiring you to get moving, Edinburgh Leisure’s Summer Pass has everything you need for a sport filled summer and to stop you from being a couch-potato.

The ‘Summer Pass’, which goes on sale today, offers unlimited access to the city’s 12 state of the art gyms, 9 swimming pools, and 800+ fitness classes, and climbing at the EICA for £60 only.  The pass lasts six weeks from the date of purchase, with the last day a customer can purchase a pass being 31 August 2021.

James Stockton, Sales Manager at Edinburgh Leisure, said: “With so many people having staycations this year, why not use this opportunity to get fit at the same time. Our Summer Pass is less than £10 per week to stay active, without committing to a membership.

“Classes like Zumba or Sh’bam are brilliant fun and a great way to get you in the mood to party, while a workout at the gym will boost your energy for the night ahead.

“We’ve also got some quick hit X-press gym classes, which use high intensity interval training (HIIT) methods with explosive bursts of speed and activity to achieve a total workout in a short period of time, as 30 minutes. And our digital boditrax machine, available at the Royal Commonwealth Pool gym, which gives you a full-body composition analysis, could help you track your progress.”

Edinburgh Leisure’s Summer Pass is available to buy online on the Edinburgh Leisure website – www.edinburghleisure.co.uk

In the three months our website was down participation in this class has rocketed! A total of 19 (with 3 regulars off due to illness) attended this morning with people coming from all areas of Edinburgh and two buses from the city council supplying the transport (writes James McGinty).

Ally & Lara have to be congratulated for their techniques and the way they have of making this a fun-filled session – this is the only Zumba for people with disabilities known to us in the whole of the U.K.

Well done, Ally & Lara – you both deserve a medal !!

A world first for Granton Library?

No doubt many records will be broken over the coming days, but Granton Library may have set a record that can’t be broken.

Last Friday, Lara and Ali held a Zumba class at the library in Wardieburn Terrace for four to fourteen year olds – and very popular it was too!

As far as we know, this is the first ever Zumba session in a public library – maybe even a world first, unless you can inform us otherwise. Usain Bolt – eat your heart out!
